Hi. What you describe below sounds like BP Type 2. You don't have full blown manic episode.
I don't have a problem accepting my diagnosis of BP Type 2 at all. I was just disappointed that I couldn't get rid of another med. And since I suffer mainly from depresssion, I was hoping it would help my depression to be off the mood stabiliser. That's all.
All I want is my meds to work and to feel, gulp, "normal". I don't care what my DX is. That's arbitrary.

> I have never been out and out manic, but the thing is that I tend to have some bipolar symptoms, not necessarily episodic though. Mostly just agitation, irritability, aggression, sometimes my mind seems to race/spin, sleep problems, and feeling kind of hyper or activated. These symptoms, added to the fact that not a single antidepressant has ever worked for me, and some have made me feel worse, just makes me wonder what in the hell is going on. It's not that I WANT to be bipolar, but I just want to have an accurate diagnosis and find accurate/adequate treatment, without all this ambiguity about everything. I don't know if it'll ever happen though. It's very frustrating.
